No Man's Sky: Two Players Visit the Same Planet at the Same Time, Are Unable to Meet Up

"No Man's Sky is not a multiplayer game," says Sean Murray.

Two No Man's Sky players have attempted and failed to meet up in No Man's Sky after one player happened upon a planet already discovered by another.

A thread on the No Man's Sky subreddit, as well as a Twitch live stream, show players thesadcactus and Psytokat coordinating to meet-up in front of the same NPC on the same planet's outpost. However, when the two appeared in the same location, they were unable to see each other.

The players also were in the same location at different points in the game's day/night cycle, as noted by Polygon, which suggests they both could be playing on different servers and are therefore on different instances of the same planet.
